PSO-Pelican Arrhythmia Optimize: Revolutionizing Arrhythmia Detection via Automated Deep Learning Parameter Tuning

Cardiovascular illnesses persist as a substantial worldwide health challenge, with arrhythmias emerging as a key issue [1]. Prompt and precise arrhythmias identification is essential for efficient medical management and enhanced patient results [2-4]. Automated machine learning algorithms have demonstrated significant potential in improving the efficiency of arrhythmia detection in recent years. Nevertheless, there is still a significant deficiency in optimizing these systems to attain comprehensive multi-class detection capabilities [5, 6]. This study aims to address this deficiency by integrating the PSO and the Pelican Arrhythmia Optimize (PAO) framework in a novel manner. Collectively, they are referred to as PSO-Pelican Arrhythmia Optimize, and their objective is to revolutionize the detection of arrhythmias by utilizing automated deep learning parameter optimization [7-9].

Furthermore, arrhythmia classification predominantly depends on deep learning approaches, which utilize their ability to evaluate complex electrocardiogram (ECG) patterns with exceptional accuracy [10-12]. Neural networks, specifically deep learning models, have exhibited exceptional proficiency in identifying intricate patterns present in ECG signals. Nevertheless, the efficiency of these models is closely linked to the accurate adjustment of hyperparameters, which continues to be a significant obstacle in the field of arrhythmia detection [13-15]. Although there are advanced deep model architectures specifically developed for arrhythmia detection, their performance generally fails to meet expectations due to insufficient optimization techniques [16, 17]. The limitations become particularly evident in cases requiring multi-class identification, since existing algorithms struggle to distinguish between distinct ECG patterns indicative of various arrhythmic disorders [18, 19].

Further, the complexities related to hyperparameter adjustment in arrhythmia detection are manifold. Primarily, the extensive and intricate range of parameters in deep learning models renders manual adjustment impracticable and time-consuming. Automated methods, such as grid and random search, have been used to explore this domain [20-22]. However, they often lack the efficiency required to successfully negotiate the complexities of hyperparameter landscapes [23, 24]. As a result, this restriction impedes the ability to fully exploit deep learning models' capabilities in accurately distinguishing small distinctions across different arrhythmia categories.

Moreover, given these difficulties, combining PSO with the Pelican Arrhythmia Optimize framework presents itself as a new and promising approach to tackle the complexities of hyperparameter tuning [25-28]. The PSO algorithm offers a powerful method for efficiently exploring the extensive parameter space of deep learning models by leveraging insights from collective behavior seen in swarms. The Pelican Arrhythmia Optimize framework is a specialized platform for assessing and refining deep learning models that utilize ECG data, specifically focusing on arrhythmia detection [29-32].

Likewise, the combination of PSO with Pelican Arrhythmia Optimize significantly changes the optimization of deep learning models for detecting arrhythmia [33-35]. PSO utilizes the combined intelligence of particle swarms to effectively explore the hyperparameter environment, continuously adjusting and refining the model configuration to reach exceptional performance [36-38]. Whereas, this work aims to demonstrate that PSO-Pelican Arrhythmia Optimize may enhance the accuracy and efficiency of automated deep learning parameter optimization for detecting arrhythmia [39, 40].

Detecting arrhythmia with complex deep learning models requires adaptive optimization for multi-class settings [41, 42]. Despite their complexity, these models lack thorough optimization methods. This results in suboptimal parameter settings and limited arrhythmic pattern application [43-45]. This also limits real-time change, which is essential for medicinal interventions [46, 47]. This study proposes advanced optimization methods for detecting numerous types of arrhythmia to overcome present constraints. The suggested strategy, called PSO-PAO optimization, aims to improve the discriminative ability of deep learning models in discriminating between different arrhythmic circumstances while increasing accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity [48]. This strategic improvement is expected to substantially contribute to the complex challenge of categorizing arrhythmias. The work rigorously evaluates the effectiveness of the PSO-PAO-optimized deep learning model using a large dataset that includes various types of arrhythmic scenarios with many classes. The primary objective is to create an automated, reliable arrhythmia classification system. This will be achieved by carefully changing neural network hyperparameters via PSO-PAO optimization. To improve clinical reliability and precision, this research will develop automated arrhythmia detection systems.

Figure 1 shows the cutting-edge PSO-Pelican Arrhythmia Optimizations framework, which automatically optimizes deep learning parameters to detect arrhythmias. Multi-modal ECG data, including visuals for analysis, is pre-processed first. The second phase uses complex feature engineering, including feature selection and extraction, to improve the dataset's distinctiveness. AutorythmAI, a complex system that automates model selection and hyper-parameter tuning, is introduced in the third phase. This optimizes model performance without operator intervention, making the process more efficient. For reliable arrhythmia detection, the selected model receives the augmented and polished images. The PSO-Pelican Arrhythmia Optimizations system improves arrhythmia diagnosis by merging data pretreatment, feature engineering, and automated deep learning optimization.

3.1 ECG data collection

A multi-modal ECG dataset combines ECG data with additional signals like respiratory or blood pressure data. This integration of diverse signals offers supplementary insights, enhancing ECG analysis accuracy for detecting arrhythmias, identifying cardiac issues, and monitoring vital signs in medical procedures. These datasets, such as CPSC2018 [62], St. Petersburg INCART [63], CinC2020, Georgia [64], and CACHET-CADB [65], are publicly accessible, enabling researchers to benchmark their algorithms and collaborate within the field. The data formats vary between header files (.hea) detailing 12 lead signal values and diagnostic information, and mat files (.mat) containing patient ECG signals. Table 3 gives the summary of the multimodal ECG data used. For testing the data, the Chapman-Shaoxing 12-lead ECG Database [66] would be utilized. This database comprises 45,152 ECGs extracted from 34,905 10-second recordings, all of which are sampled at a frequency of 500 Hz. This dataset provides a substantial volume of ECG data, allowing for comprehensive testing and validation of the proposed arrhythmia detection framework. The PTB-XL [67] dataset comprises over 21,000 12-lead ECG recordings from 1,525 patients, encompassing a wide spectrum of cardiac conditions and arrhythmias used as benchmark dataset for comparison. Similarly, the Georgia ECG dataset offers ECG recordings collected from patients in the Georgia region, providing additional data for research and validation purposes used for benchmark data and comparison.

In conclusion, our study leveraged diverse datasets from different countries to demonstrate the global applicability and robustness of our model for cardiac arrhythmia detection. By utilizing datasets such as the Chapman-Shaoxing 12-lead ECG Database,  PTB-XL dataset, and the Georgia ECG dataset, which represent varied demographics and populations, we ensured that our model's performance was evaluated across a wide spectrum of cardiac conditions and patient profiles.

Automatic Machine Learning (AutoML) strengthens AI standardization. It makes machine learning accessible with a button press or hides algorithm execution, data pipelines, and code [68]. This expertise is promising for research. AutoML is a dynamic system with great potential despite being built for task automation. Our ECG arrhythmia detection model cannot be customised using AutoML. Customized AutoRhythmAI algorithms for ECG arrhythmia identification in diverse datasets are our solution. Integrating hybrid model automation is stressed.

The system illustrates the complex steps in data processing, encompassing preprocessing, model training, and validation, showcasing the proposed system's comprehensive nature. Our system has many strengths, but automated hyperparameter optimization is lacking. Model performance and generalization depend on this automated modification. Without it, the framework may struggle to attain optimal configurations and accuracy. Automatic hyperparameter adjustment should be prioritized for model resilience and efficacy in future editions.

3.4 PSO

PSO is a metaheuristic method devised to discover global maxima or minima within potential solution spaces. Inspired by the collective movement behaviors seen in flocks of birds or schools of fish, PSO's operation combines individual decisions with collective behaviors. Initially proposed by Trojovský and Dehghani [69], PSO has seen various modifications while retaining its fundamental operators. The algorithm calculates new particle positions by determining velocities influenced by the best global and current particle positions. The velocity update formula is defined as:

3.4.1 Velocity update

$\begin{gathered}v_{i_{t+1}}=w * v_{i_t}+c 1 * r 1 *\left(p_{\text {best}_i}-p_{i_t}\right)+c 2* r 2 *\left(p_{\text {gbest}_i}\right)-p_{i_t}\end{gathered}$          (1)

- $v_{i_{t+1}}:$ Particle velocity at time $t+1, v_{i_t}$-Particle velocity at time $t$.

- w: Coefficient of inertia, adjusting with particle speed.

- c1, c2: Cognitive and social coefficients.

- r1, r2: Vectors of random values between 0 and 1, matching the length of the velocity vector.

- $p_{\text {best}_i}$: Best position attained by particle i, $p_{i_t}$ Position of particle i at time t.

- $p_{\text {gbest}_i}$: Best overall position of the entire swarm.

Once velocities are updated, particle positions in iteration t+1 are calculated.

3.4.2 Position update

$p_{i_{t+1}}=p_{i_t}+v_{i_{t+1}}$               (2)

- $p_{i_{t+1}}$: New position of particle i in iteration t+1.

- $p_{i_t}$: Previous position of particle i calculated in iteration t.

- $v_{i_{t+1}}$: Velocity vector obtained using the velocity update formula.

The POA draws inspiration from the cooperative foraging behavior observed in pelican birds, presenting itself as a nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithm for optimization tasks. Here's a structured breakdown of the Key concepts of POA algorithm:

Exploration: Involves exploring new positions in the search space to discover potentially better solutions.

$\begin{aligned} \text {New}_{\text {Pos}}=X(i, j) & + \text {rand}(1,1) *(\text {Agents_Target}-I * X(i, j))\end{aligned}$               (3)

Exploitation: Utilizes discovered positions to exploit and fine-tune optimization solutions.

$\begin{gathered}\text {New}_{\text {Pos}}=X(i, j)+0.2 *\left(1-\frac{t}{T}\right) *(2 * \operatorname{rand}(1,1)-1) * X(i, j)\end{gathered}$              (4)

The algorithm iteratively generates prey positions, updates positions for exploration and exploitation across dimensions, and outputs the best candidate solution obtained through the POA.
